Important Notes

Main Game

The Old Hunters (DLC)

Chalice Dungeons

Finale

By the end of following this guide, you’ll have every: Caryll Rune, Garment, Gesture, Handgun, Hunter Tool, Messenger Dressing, Oath Memory (Covenant), Trophy and Weapon.

Important notes as well as rare items will also be listed for your convenience. You will also have obtained the minimum required number of Third Umbilical Cords to challenge the hidden boss at the end of the game.

Dilemmas

There are 3 dilemmas to be aware of since not everything is possible to be obtained in the first play-through:

Young Yharnam Girl Quest - You can either have the Formless Oedon rune (Max QS Bullets +1) or the Red Messenger’s Ribbon and White Messenger’s Ribbon.

The League Quest - You can either have the Master Iron Helm or the One-Eyed Iron Helm.

Third Guidance Rune - Nobody has ever found the third Guidance rune (Rally Potential +30%) in the depth 5 chalice dungeons. However, a duplicate of +10% can be gained naturally in New Game+.

Since the Formless Oedon rune provides a state boost and that the Master Iron Helm shows you completed the quest properly, those will be done on the first play-through.

The Guidance rune is up to you, it’s unknown if collecting a duplicate will cause negative effect but I’ve got 3 +10% and 1 +20% by time I wrote this guide.

Important Notes

Be sure to be on the latest patch before starting the first new game to avoid bugs even on New Game+. I was unable to obtain the Blood Rapture rune (V.ATK Restore HP +200) from the Shadow of Yharnam on my old file.
